Assistant Director

Assistant director Howard Parkins functions much like his live-action counterpart. He is on the show from the beginning, and part of his job is to look at all the artwork as it comes in and double-check it for continuity, modeling, and size relations.

Howard is always ready to fill any role the director may require of him, even to the point of directing smaller sequences. In many ways, he is a director-in-training, and he's had to climb up through the ranks to get there. He started with art school in Canada and found a job as an assistant animator on a feature film right after graduation. Then, after a stint in London as a cell painter, Howard did in-betweens for Who Framed Roger Rabbit? His animation has taken him all over the world, and he knows that as long as he can draw or paint, he's got a passport to anywhere.
